History of the Church and of society in the pages of the Pope’s paper

Reviewing the history of the Church and
society, from 1861 to today, through the documents, reflections and the
standpoints of “L’Osservatore Romano” – this is the precious service offered by
the newspaper’s archive to scholars, historians, journalists and other readers.

In addition to the complete
hard copy collections of the daily and weekly editions in Italian, English,
German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and the monthly Polish edition which are
available at our office. However at the moment consultation to the public has
been suspended.

Our office has a microfilm collection in
CD-ROM of the daily editions from 1861 to today, and of the English language
editions since its inception in 1968.

On microfilm we have the 1849-1850
editions of “L’Osservatore” edited by Fr Battelli and the editions of 1849 of
“Il Constituzionale Romano”, two newspapers that are considered to be the
precursors of today’s “L’Osservatore Romano”.

CD-ROMs allow for individual pages or
entire editions to be photocopied or electronic files to be sent via email.

Beginning with the 1996 editions it is
possible to request files of single article or editions.

The charge for the reproduction and
research of the material will be determined according to each single request.

Printed copies of the newspaper published
over the last five years are also available and can be requested at
info@ossrom.va.
